hey guys recently i'm getting red artifacts on my screen that annoys me a bit and it seems like it does those red lines on the edges and here is a picture to show what it looks like
http://web26.hopto.org:443/artifacts.jpg

the picture is quite big (3MB) and as you can see there are red lines which shouldn't be appearing normally and i've checked my cable and nothing seems to be wrong and i'm not overclocking so it must be some other problem. (maybe the monitor is dying?)

hey guys i just found out that when i set my refresh rate to 60Hz thre will be less artifacts but if i set it any higher than 60Hz such as 70Hz, 72Hz or 75Hz more artifacts will appear. I wonder if the new drivers are the cause as i recently installed new drivers and i'm not 100% sure if the drivers made it like this or not but i know it is recent (this week or so). (so far i've only seen red lines as artifacts, nothing else)
